He was going to spend a christmas day as usual. Then ghoasts came to him, and change his life or his character. It was cute story. I'm looking forward to be cinematized. (  )1  arisam | Sep 28, 2009 | If you've only seen one of the MANY versions of the story on film, give yourself the privilege of reading the original. The film versions track it pretty closely, but this gives even more of the really good stuff -- the actual language of Dickens. 1 lendroth | Sep 27, 2009 | I've read this a couple of times. Dickens was paid by the word & writes like it. He spends way too much time digressing into idiotic areas & filling up space. Example: "Marley was dead, dead as a door nail, although why a door nail should be deader than a coffin nail..." or something like that & goes on about it forever. Never does come to a conclusion - the proper one being a door nail is dead because it was hammered through the door & clinched on the opposite side, hence is dead. Coffin nails are hammered straight in, hence can move with the wood. His stories are classics, but I detest his writing style. Probably worth reading once.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Audiobook Review (ISBN 0140861785, Audio Cassette)Patrick Stewart's one-man production of Dickens's A Christmas Carol played to sold-out audiences in New York and Los Angeles. In this studio recording based on those performances, Stewart is in rare form, using his considerable range of voices to play all roles, from the Ghost of Christmas past to Tiny Tim. It must be said that Stewart clearly enjoys playing Scrooge best of all--but isn't the villain always the most compelling character? Even if you feel that "every idiot who goes about with 'Merry Christmas' on his lips should be boiled with his own pudding and buried with a stake of holly through his heart," this rendition of Dickens's classic will get you in a Yuletide mood. (Running time: 2 hours, 2 cassettes) --C.B. Delaney(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:57:52 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
